Unhelpful error message masking TRANSLATION ERROR on Import #603

Closed mbaas2 closed 7 months ago

mbaas2 commented 9 months ago

There is a problem in the way Link deals with incompatible files:

      ⎕SE.Link.Import #'C:/Data/dyalog/User-Meetings/2023-10-15 Dyalog 23 Elsinore/TP1 - Testing APL Systems/src/coolStat.apln'

⎕SE.Link.Import: Source file defines "", rather than "coolStat"

      ⎕SE.Link.Import #'C:/Data/dyalog/User-Meetings/2023-10-15 Dyalog 23 Elsinore/TP1 - Testing APL Systems/src/coolStat.apln'
      ∧

but the real problem is that the source could not be imported - as SALT tells us:

      ⎕SE.SALT.Load'"C:/Data/dyalog/User-Meetings/2023-10-15 Dyalog 23 Elsinore/TP1 - Testing APL Systems/src/coolStat.apln" -target=#'

TRANSLATION ERROR: Unicode character ⎕UCS 169 not in ⎕AVU
GetUnicodeFile[28] r←'UTF-8'⎕UCS clean 3↓r
                            ∧

BTW, the problem is intentional - there's invalid Unicode in comments - but Link's response could be better ;)
